San Francisco artist Sara Shelton Mann premieres Hybrid 2 with collaborators Christine Bonansea, Jesse Hewit, Robbie Beahrs, and Mark Growden. Also on the program is tribes/dominion, SNF, and a live music performance by Mark Growden. Hybrid 2 is part of The Eye of Leo Series, a collaborative series of solos created through self-inquiry and conversation. This journey is two solos put together, overlapping. It is a puzzle without a beginning or end. Framed, condensed and constructed through the consciousness of performer and witness, the work functions as both façade and transparency, to look through and listen into. Imagine what they will do next, and what they are thinking. Watch in retrograde. Enjoy.
Discounted tickets available for participants in Sara Shelton Mann’s workshop, The Body Process.
